Abstract

In this paper, we present the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayes estimation of the unknown parameters, the reliability and hazard functions of the Weibull extension distribution based on progressively Type-II censoring scheme from fuzzy lifetime data. For the computation of Bayes estimates, we proposed using Tierney-Kadane’s approximation under square error and LINEX loss functions. The performance of the maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators compared in terms of their mean squared errors (MSEs) through the simulation study. The results indicated that MSEs based on Tierney-Kadane’s approximation are less than based on the ML method. Finally, to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods, two real data sets are analyzed.
